Our Holistic Wealth Management Services
We like to refer to our services as holistic wealth management with heart because we can’t imagine one without the other. Our advisors are passionate about getting to know you and teaching you how to use your wealth as a tool to live your best life. In our over 40 years in business, we’ve fine-tuned our approach to align with what we’ve found to be most effective. Through our services, we optimize each area of your financial life to help ensure they work together in one harmonious plan.
Our Holistic Planning Process
Built right into our process is the time and care we take to understand your unique goals and values.
Through our four stage approach— Connect, Create, Chart, and Collaboration – we create comprehensive plans addressing the following key aspects of wealth management.
Retirement and Income Cash Flow
No one wants to have to completely adjust their lifestyle in retirement or have fear hanging over their head of the unknown. It’s why our advisors specialize in helping you optimize your wealth and distribution with tax-efficient strategies to maintain your desired lifestyle.
Tax Management
We wouldn’t be helping grow and protect your wealth without taking proactive steps to help ensure taxes don’t destroy it. Our advisors provide tax management strategies designed to minimize your tax burden and keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket and working for you.
Estate and Legacy Planning
You've worked hard and built your wealth. We're here to take the guesswork out of securing your legacy to benefit your spouse, children, grandchildren, and charitable causes. Our estate planning services help ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
Asset Management
Our disciplined investment approach helps take what you’ve already accumulated and continue to grow it, while providing various income streams to put towards your dreams.
In truth, we help you manage your most important asset — time that should be spent on pursuing joy and priorities, not worrying about optimizing your portfolios by yourself.
Asset Protection
We’re passionate about preserving your wealth with comprehensive risk management strategies because protecting your assets helps protect your future. We employ a range of tools from insurance to legal structures to help ensure your means to a bright future are secure.
Retirement Income Specialists
As retirement income specialists, we have deep expertise and a genuine desire to help you optimize your finances for a stable retirement. We take your plan personalization very seriously because in our experience, it can lead to better outcomes. To guide our efforts, we use the Retirement Income Style Awareness (RISA®) assessment which helps us create a retirement income plan aligned with your needs and preferences for ultimate efficacy.
Who We Serve
Our firm is versatile in serving retirees and pre-retirees, but we specialize in crafting financial plans for federal employees, business owners, and educators. Some of our advisors hold the Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant (ChFEBC) designation, deeply understanding government pensions, TSPs, and other benefits. We also proudly have professionals with the Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) certification who help business owners plan for their retirement and succession. And finally, our founder got his start helping teachers with their pensions and has built a team uniquely qualified to carry on that legacy.
